one of the most obvious ways is times square which was one of the rotting core of the city filled with peepshows, porn, crime, and the homeless. he condemned, revitalized times square. but now it's clean and brings millions into the city. less visible to tourists but just as important is the $5 billion he spent on creating affordable housing which helped change the bronx. at funeral today, bill clinton spoke which is fitting because it's hard to find two politicians more nakedly in l ld of being loved. where clinton is a smooth operator who approaches america as if it were a lovely lady he would like to pick up, koch was brash and opinion yat yated. he is like chris christie who tell it is like it is. in the doc koch says you can only get the people to follow you by being bigger than life, and he refers to politics as theater which makes sense because he was good at that. he was good at all sorts of theater. >> i'm going to tell you who you're doing, you're doing terrible. that's why i'm going to jump off this roof. >> it's all right. it's all right. it's me, mayor koch. >> jump, jump!

>> what's wrong with the city? >> dirt, noise, mugging, stabbing, rape, roaches, pigeon mess, horse mess, people mess. >> eddie murphy's character is representative of the mayor's deep troubles with new york's black community. for somebody who needed to be loved he was polarizing to and unafraid of angering new york's blacks. in reportthe doc a reporter say lacked a sensitivity. perhaps it's fitting that new york's racial troubles in the '80s were a part of his political undoing and his successor was the city's first and only black mayor. david dinkins was gentlemanly mayor. mike bloomberg has been a cold business manage mother thought he was a king but none could match koch as the embodiment of the city which often seems at war with itself. both new york and koch are larger than life. both have massive egos. both have things they'd rather hide, and both are an essential part of the fabric of america. and now for another essential part of the fabric of america, martin bashir. >> thank you very much, toure. good aft

of the highest rates in the country. forfeiting upwards of 50% of my income to local, state, and federal government every year. i'm sure this e lice sits few tears of sympathy, that's okay, but for many young millennials who have dreams of moving to the big city, starting their own business and one day owning their own home, this should be something of a wake-up call. david burstein's new book is a must read for anyone between the ages of 18 and 30 looking to survive in an economy that is in many ways unable to keep up with you and for anyone interested in shaping policy with 80 million people in mind. millennials are the largest generation in the united states history and by 2020 they will account for 1 out of every 3 adults. we interviewedb burstein last week. what he said about millennials was fascinating. this is a generation that came of age in the midst of permanent war, a housing boom and bust, a recession and staggering unemployment, skyrocketing costs of education and most recently a government that seems ill eq

some of the world's cleanest gas turbines are now powering some of america's biggest cities. siemens. answers. >>> as republicans plot a new way forward that acknowledges changing demographics and a messaging problem when it comes to women and minorities, it's clear they're optimistically hoping earnest efforts towards immigration reform will help some of their problems. the white house's backup plan was leaked by someone over the weekend and if one wanted to read into the strategy, it's plausible that the obama administration saw a little too much progress coming out of the bipartisan senate gang of eight and they're worried that republicans like marco rubio might walk away with a little too much credit if meaningful immigration policy is actually passed. as laudable as republican efforts have been to walk a delicate pathway to immigration reform fraught with political dangers on every side, they might want to accept now they will never truly enjoy the fruits of their labor. democrats will make sure they get to bask in all the kudos and republicans are made to look like the
